15.01.2022 I Spy Fridays! Come and explore CREEC behind the lense and learn about the wacky and wonderful plants and wildlife that call this home! What can you see in this imagine and do you know its name? ... If you guessed a Stinkhorn Fungi as it smells like rotting meat, you'd be correct! They are very common on wood or bark-chip mulch in gardens, and on deep litter on the rainforest floor. Did you know that Fungi plays an important role in breaking down food, such as leaves and mulch for plants? Stay tuned for next weeks 'I Spy Friday' Clue

08.01.2022 Pollinator Week Rita and her daughters overwinter in their nest and, if the weather is warm enough, they may even be seen foraging for nectar on warm winter days. Rita has morphological characteristics that define her as a reed bee, but she also has a distinguished personality, befitting her role as mascot for Australian Pollinator Week.... thanks to Australian Pollinator Week

01.01.2022 Pollinator Week The last three metasomal segments, of her red/brown abdomen, are flattened. She uses these to defend her nest against ants and spiders, by blocking off the entrance with her ‘bottom’. She has distinctive yellow markings on her clypeaus (forehead), made more distinguished by her gorgeous pompadour. Her black thorax is pinched at the ‘waist’ with an elegant belt and her gold choker highlights her neck. No shaving for this little girl, as she needs those hairy l...egs to carry pollen back to her nest to feed her babies. thanks to Australian Pollinator Week
